Yeah I know: "HeLlO wOrLd." What a lame title for a developer blog post. Oh well. This will be my first official blog post. I’ve recently decided this could be a good idea for a few reasons.
<h3>I built this shiny new website</h3>
Alright, let’s get the shallow point out of the way first. I’ve rebuilt and redesigned this website at least a dozen times, in several different frameworks and languages. This time, however, I feel as though I’ve done a better job at showcasing the different forms work, and I want my writing to be one such form.
I find it to be a good exercise to rebuild this website when I want to learn a new framework or language or design principle but don’t have a great idea for a project to do so. It enables me to find out how to do something that I already know in a territory that I’m not familiar with—which I believe to be a great learning method.
I also want to document some of these topics that I’m learning, in the hopes that maybe it will help someone else; but if nothing else, it will serve as a good notebook for myself.
<h3>Writing can be healthy</h3>
Okay, I’ll admit it. I’ve never really written just for fun or for anything really other than schoolwork, emails, Slack messages, texts, or IMs. Maybe I wrote an occasional journal entry back when I was forced to or a random tech article when I thought I would make it big as the next tech blogger (I still believe), but I’ve never really done it just for myself.
I do think writing is an amazing skill and tool to have, especially when needed in a professional environment, but really in order to have good communication in general. I can’t be sure, but at this point I think writing the occasional post will help build and develop this skill
<h3>Opinions are important</h3>
Prior to the past few years, I never really had strongly formed opinions about many important topics. More recently, I've come to the realization that opinions drive the world. I used to think that my opinion didn't matter, but now I understand that every opinion does make an immense difference. Whether or not an opinion has a lot of weight (it affects people in a heavily positive or negative way), it has some weight, and that matters.
This does not mean all of my posts will be strictly opinion-based. Primarily, they will be about things I've learned or new ideas I've had that I want to share. But for the posts that are opinion-based, I believe that it will be good for me to document those opinions, so I can go back to them and see my growth
<hr>
To conclude, I can't guarantee that I will post often. In fact, I could probably guarantee that I won't. However, I will be posting when possible. I think it will be good for me, and I hope I will be able to help some people who may come across them!

Pytho allows you to build and share your Python code without ever touching a native editor or command line — it works great on any device, including your tablet or phone!
At first, you'll see one of a set of random examples, but you can instantly start writing your own code. Once you're happy with your creation, you can hit the save button and send the copied link to your coworker, friend, or teacher, and they will see and be able to run your creation in their browser.
All of this is available without the need for anyone to install or fiddle with Python on their machine.

An Python editor with realtime output, using the Pyodide interpreter through WebAssembly. With this, you can write, share, and review Python code in the browser.

This project allows you to view and download your past iMessage conversations. You can also listen to and download your previous voicemails, without having to download an app or extension.
It works by utilizing the File System Access API, which allows it to run entirely within the browser. This allows for total security and ownership of your data, as it never hits the server.
If you'd like to consider supporting this project, please visit <a href="https://github.com/sponsors/sammagee">my sponsor page on GitHub</a>.
